Old Family Photos

Family Gathering at 1080 Makaiwa Street500 viewsNana, Birdie, my father, Mum (Lily Wyser Wilkinson), my mother and young Shauna. I would guess this is 1956 or so, photographed in the living room at 1080 Makaiwa Street in Kahala.

Nana Reading A Magazine298 viewsI am guessing that Baba took this photograph. I must have inherited this trait from him: I love annoying Marjorie by taking her photograph in bed, when she's trying to read or relax.

Newleyweds - 1948291 viewsMy father and mother, shortly after they arrived in Hawaii -- having been married in Nevada on their drive across the country from Boston. I love the cigarette in the hand.

Chase With Her Christmas Loot333 viewsHonolulu Tower --- I think it was apartment 2103 --- Christmas 1985. A scant 20 years ago, and yet it seems like yesterday.

Chase With Her Little Pony327 viewsChristmas, Honolulu Tower, 1985

Grandfather, Chase, and Marcia - Christmas 1985348 viewsFunny, although this picture is almost 20 years old, I can still see Grandfather sitting on that couch, eating cheese and crackers. We still have the leather chair (and the ottoman with Chase's Christmas pony). We moved the couch to England, and sat on it in The Limes. Chase sure looks happy!

Marjorie 1 At Starbucks in South Australia1120 viewsCathy wrote, "Did my daughterly duty yesterday and took Mother to Colonades which is near where she lives, I think I did some 120 kms just doing that. We had coffee at Starbucks, the first one opened in South Australia and it has to be miles from where I live, oh well just need to wait until they open more nearer me."

PAAVille on Wake Island -- Circa 19539345 viewsMy father, Woody Walsh, took a a series of photos from (I would guess) the tower at the airport of the "skyline" of PAAVille on Wake Island. This panorama is two of the slides stitched together with modern software.

PanAm Boeing Stratocruiser 377 in Honolulu, Circa 19495399 viewsI did a Google search on this aircraft, N1025V. It was the first of 21 Stratocruisers delivered to PanAm (delivered on January 31, 1949). At the time it was called "Clipper America," although that doesn't seem to be the name in this photograph. (PanAm apparently had many aircraft called "Clipper America" over the years.) N1025V is now sold as a model. The real N1025V was sold to the Israeli Air Force in 1963 as a cargo plane, and last flew in March 1974.
